101.com hi everybody welcome back to top
words my name is Alisha and today we're
going to be talking about 10 breakup
lines these are lines that you can use
when you want to end a romantic
relationship Wow let's go I need my
space
I need my space I need my space so if
you feel the other person is maybe just
always with you always looking for time
or just bothering you whatever doesn't
matter you don't want to spend time with
that person anymore you can say I need
my space oh do you want to go to the
movies with me this weekend it was so
much fun to see you yesterday and we can
do something tomorrow and then we can go
to the movies together too don't you
think it'll be great actually I need my
space I need to focus on my career I
need to focus on my career ooh
so maybe you're really really busy with
work or you're just looking for an
excuse to break up with the person to
break up with someone you can say I'm
really sorry but right now I need to
focus on my career I think we need a
break I think we need a break this is
after you've been seeing someone for
some time and you decide that maybe
they're not the right person for you you
can say I think we need a break be
careful though this phrase sounds like
there's a chance you may get back
together in the future if you don't feel
that there's a chance you'll be
continuing to see this person maybe
choose a different line to break up with
them I think we're moving too fast this
is an expression you might use towards
the beginning of a relationship maybe
for example you meet someone and then
you start dating them and and then a
month later they're like let's move in
together and then three months later
it's like oh let's get married or
whatever the pace of the relationship
seems too fast you could
I think we're moving too fast so if you
say this phrase maybe it doesn't mean
that you want to break up but just this
pace is too fast for me let's slow down
I'm just not ready for this kind of
relationship I'm just not ready for this
kind of relationship this could have
many different meanings maybe the
relationship is very serious and you're
not looking for a serious relationship
you can say I'm not ready for this kind
of relationship saying I'm not ready
sounds like it's me it's my problem I'm
not ready for this kind of relationship
it's not you it's me it's not you it's
me
there's no problem with you rather I
have a problem maybe they're just
struggling with some things that they're
not mmm they don't want to bring into a
relationship or maybe they're just
trying to be polite maybe it is you
maybe it is you but the other person is
trying to be kind so you can say it's
not you it's me let's just be friends
let's just be friends you've been in a
relationship with someone for a while
and do you decide maybe it's better if
we don't date each other but I still
like this person so let's just be
friends we need to talk oh no we need to
talk the dreaded we need to talk if
someone says we need to talk in that
tone we need to talk or if you get like
a text message that says we need to talk
it's never we need to talk I want to get
a puppy it's never a happy thing if you
see if you hear We Need to Talk
it's oh no something is bad in my
relationship and I'm about to hear about
it
dun dun dun so you can follow We Need to
Talk with an actual issue that you need
to discuss about your relationship or it
can mean the end of the relationship you
want to talk about ending the
relationship we should start seeing
other people
the next breakup line is we should start
seeing other people
ouch means I don't want to see you
anymore at one point about this when we
are in a relationship with someone there
are a couple of different verbs that we
use we use the verb seeing to see
someone and to date to go out with those
are a few so in this expression we see
we should start seeing
they're people so it doesn't mean just
like like stand across the room no I see
another person I see you know it means
date it means be in a relationship with
we use the verb to see for that one of
the things that is said about this
phrase is that if someone uses the
phrase we should start seeing other
people there's a good chance that person
is already seeing someone else
ouch ouch ick you deserve better
the next phrase is you deserve better Oh
so if someone says to you you deserve
better
I think we should end the relationship
you deserve better it means that the
person feels they are not good enough
they're not enough for you and so they
think you should find someone better
than the person saying the phrase again
this could be a sincere expression or it
could just be a very polite and kind way
to end a relationship with someone how

welcome back to top words my name is
Alisha and today we're going to be
talking about American food so let's get
started
apple pie the first food is apple pie
apple pie is a delicious and sweet
American dessert it is as it sounds it
is a pie so a bit of crust and on the
inside is Apple fresh apple I hope large
feasts often have an apple pie for
dessert
in a sentence my mom cooks an apple pie
every Thanksgiving chocolate chip cookie
next food is the chocolate chip cookie
this is a very popular cookie it's a
simple cookie is put chocolate chips
into any cookie into anything and you
can make a chocolate chip cookie if you
eat it there's a very kind of nostalgic
childhood feel about a chocolate chip
cookie in a sentence when I was a child
I made chocolate chip cookies with my
mom and my brother that's true hamburger
the next food is probably the first food
you thought of when I said we were
talking about American foods today it is
the hamburger whoo a beef patty between
two buns two buns two pieces of bread
and depending on your preference you can
put anything you like on your hamburger
many people like to use cheese thereby
making it a cheeseburger you can use
lettuce ketchup tomato onion mustard
relish whatever go crazy bacon avocado
anything really I love trying new and
interesting hamburger combinations
jellybeans jellybeans this is an
interesting American food they're
colorful they usually come in a package
about this size maybe this big they are
kind of a squishy jelly like candy very
very sugary and they usually have some
kind of fruit flavor you can find the
regular jelly beans which are sweet and
delicious or you can find jelly beans
which are maybe a mysterious mixture in
a sentence when I was a kid I loved
eating jelly beans

big bird that we almost always eat at
Thanksgiving that's right Turkey's

in a sentence every year my family cooks
a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner Boston
baked beans the next food is Boston
baked beans this is something I haven't
had in a long time as you might have

from Boston so Boston style baked beans
are typically sweetened with molasses or
with maple syrup in a sentence I'm going
to make a chili later today with Boston
baked beans grits this is a food that
comes from the southern part of America
I didn't eat grits growing up so I don't

puppies uh here we are again the next
American food is hush puppies hush
puppies from the same video that we
talked about grits our friend Keith came
in and told us about hush puppies it's
just a ball of dough that it's fried
that's it a very very simple food very
very healthy surely ha ha no uh in a
sentence I haven't had hush puppies yet
and I really want to try them but they
don't seem very healthy so it's not high
on my to-do list biscuits and gravy okay
great the next food is biscuits and
gravy it's a very simple dish as you can
guess it's just a biscuit and gravy the
gravy is usually very very rich very
very fatty very fattening this is a dish
that is typically eaten for breakfast

local a local simple restaurant might
have biscuits and gravy on the menu in a
sentence I used to eat biscuits and
gravy at my grandparents house in the

101.com hi everybody and welcome back to
top words my name is Alisha and today
we're going to be talking about ten
words you can use to talk about music so
let's go concert the first word for
talking about music is concert concert
is a live show concert is yeah the
performance is happening in front of
your eyes so concerts are really popular
worldwide I think depending on where you
live you might hear them called live
shows but usually in American English we
just say concert a concert so in a
sentence I'm going to a concert this
weekend to see in concert the next
expression is the verb we use for a live
show so the next expression is to see in
a concert or to see in concert so we use
the artists name along with this phrase
so for example I'm going to see Coldplay
in concert I'm going to see Adele in
concert so you use I'm going to see
artist name in concert or in a concert
where's the in concert or in a concert
both are ok so in a different sentence
I'm going to see my favorite band in
concert meaning live who do I want to
see you in concert I want to see Michael
Jackson in concert
yeah I would have loved to see him in
concert he's my favorite to listen to
music to listen to artists the next word
or the next phrase is to listen to Plus
music or to listen to an artist so you
can use this verb with the type of music
or with the specific artist or band or
group that you like so I like to listen
to rock music I like to listen to pop
music whatever another sentence is I
like listening to Beyonce I like yeah so
you can use to listen to or listening to
both are fine here I like listening to
funk it's fine I like listening to funky
artists is fine I like listening to
Queens of the Stone Age it's fine
all of these are great who do you listen
to I listen to to write a song to write
music the next expression is to write a
song or to write music so if you want to
make music yourself you can say write a
song which just means one song maybe
three or four minutes usually in popular
music or to write music in general so
you can use both of these expressions
song is more specific music is more
general so in a sentence my friends
started writing songs recently or in a
different sentence writing music is
really fun track the next expression is
track track so we can use song yes
but for example when you look at an
album like on iTunes or maybe like a CD
for example each each song is assigned a
number that's the track number so we can
say I like track number 3 or track 3 we
use track to talk about a song so you
can say this is a good song or this is a
good track both are ok to use song and
track are both fine so in a sentence I
really like that track from his album
beat the next word is beat so the beat
is sort of the feeling of a song that
usually it's e
need to hear because there's like a bass
drum or there's some kind of heavy
feeling it gives you the sense of rhythm
of a song so in a sentence we would say
like song should have a catchy beat or
that that that song has a really catchy
beat or I like the beat of that song
tempo so tempo the next word is tempo
tempo means the pace of a song how fast
or how slow a song goes so you can have
songs with a fast tempo or with a slow
tempo or somewhere in between so you can
change the tempo of a song and maybe
change the feeling in a sentence tracks
with a slow tempo are nice on quiet
evenings
upbeat the next word is upbeat so this
word uses beat which we talked about
before but up beat this is an adjective
that we use for something maybe it's a
faster tempo song maybe it sounds kind
of positive or a cheerful a little bit
happy so an upbeat track or an upbeat
song sounds maybe it has it has a good
positive feeling about it or a good
positive vibe something like that so in
a sentence this song is really upbeat
upbeat we can use up beat for people to
like my best friend is really a beat
something positive or happy down tempo
next we'll go to maybe the opposite of
upbeat the next word is down tempo tempo
means pace and down meaning like
decreased or slower so a down tempo song
has a slow tempo it's more relaxed yeah
maybe it's good for just kind of hanging
out or it's a little bit slow or maybe
you hear this at a restaurant or a cafe
perhaps a down tempo song so in a
sentence
I like down tempo music genre the next
word is a great pronunciation point for
many students its genre genre so not
John do or Gen ray I don't know but
genre is the correct pronunciation of
this word genre means the type of music
you can use
to talk about movies as well books to
but it means the type of something so
type of maybe art you could consider or
type of creativity so genre into in
music is for example rock pop funk house
old disco heavy metal classical country
rap hip-hop lose all these are genres of
music so there types of music you can
say what type of music do you like or
what genre of music do you listen to so
in a sentence I listen to lots of
different genres of music hi everybody
and welcome back to top words my name is
Alisha and today we're going to talk
about 10 words for talking about sleep
let's go to wake up the first word is to
wake up to wake up is to open your eyes
probably in your bed or the place where
you are sleeping to wake up is to to
become conscious to become awake every
day you wake up presumably hopefully in
a sentence I woke up three times last
night to get up to get out of bed
alright the next word is to get up or to
get out of bed so that means to
physically move your body from your bed
out of bed to stand up from your bed to
get out of your bed we say to get up or
to get out of bed in a sentence I got up
at 8 o'clock this morning to snooze the
next word is to snooze so we have to
snooze and alarm and also to snooze so
to snooze means to take a short sleep to
have a short sleeping time or to snooze
and alarm is when your alarm goes off in
the morning you have a button most alarm
clocks have some button you can press so
the alarm will turn on again in like you
know 5 or 10 minutes or something so to
snooze an alarm is to like to ask your
alarm to wake you up again a few minutes
later that's
to snooze so we have to snooze and alarm
and to snooze meaning like a short light
sleep in a sentence
I always snooze my alarm at least once
that is usually true to oversleep the
next word is to oversleep to oversleep
means to sleep too much or to sleep late
actually
no it doesn't mean to sleep late to
sleep late means just to sleep until a
late time in the day oversleep means
sleeping beyond the time you wanted to
get up so for example if my alarm is set
for 8 o'clock but I wake up at 9 o'clock
I overslept
I slept beyond my wake-up time so we can
use oversleep to talk about times when
you sleep too much you sleep more than
your body needs you to so maybe your
body needs depending on the person like
six to nine hours or so but if you sleep
like 14 hours we can say that's over
sleeping you're sleeping too much hmm
that's the nuance here in a sentence I
overslept on my first day of work
nap the next word is nap nap is a short
sleep so a nap is maybe thirty minutes
one hour just a short sleep a short rest
so a lot of people will take a nap in
the afternoon for example or maybe
children actually take naps for example
in preschool or when they're very very
young they have a an afternoon nap a
short sleep like hmm yeah just a like an
hour or so I imagine in a sentence I
love naps actually I do like naps I
don't like naps because when I take a
nap
it becomes asleep it's always like I
wake up four hours later and I'm like
okay well I've destroyed my sleep
schedule dream the next word is dream
dreams so dreams are those those visions
those images you see those experiences
it seems like you have when you are
asleep in a sentence I always have weird
dreams nightmare so the next word is
nightmare
nightmare is a word which means bad
dream or scary dream negative dream so
children maybe have nightmares a lot
they wake up crying or they're really
upset by nightmares monsters terrifying
things happening and so on
in a sentence do you ever have
nightmares to go to bed the next word is
to go to bed so before we talked about
to get up or to get out of bed this is
the opposite to go to bed means to get
in your bed - to try to go to sleep - go
to bed in a sentence I usually go to bed
fairly late to hit the hay to hit the
sack the next expression is kind of a I
don't know a slang expression we have to
hit the hay and to hit the sack these
both mean to go to bed they both mean to
try to fall asleep but we just use them
in more casual situations the image here
of hit the hay is with your body hitting
hay like laying down in hay I believe
historically because hay was used to
stuff things that people slept on so
that's why we have this expression to
hit the hay with your body
same thing for to hit the sack so a sack
full of something soft to sleep on is
where this expression comes from in a
sentence I think I'm gonna hit the hay
to fall asleep the next expression it is
to fall asleep to fall asleep you're in
bed and you finally you lose
consciousness you you stop being aware
you are asleep in that moment we say you
fall asleep in a sentence it takes me a
long time to fall asleep alright hi

explanation with this phrase hi everyone
it's Christine welcome back to another
episode of top words today we'll be
talking about 10 reasons to start
learning a language let's go it's a
beautiful language every language has
specific characteristics and some people
like the way certain languages sound
some languages might sound better to you
than others my family comes from a place
where the language is spoken for many
people their cultural heritage is very
important to them if your family speaks
another language you might not be able
to talk to some of your relatives or
fully understand your background so many
people try to learn the language of the
place they've descended from I love the
culture and the people who speak the
language
if you're really interested in a
specific country and its culture this
can be a great reason to learn a
language that's also shown that being
interested in a culture motivates
language learners to work harder and get
better results I just love learning
languages some people learn because they
have to and some people just learn
because they find it interesting
learning a language takes time and
effort and some people love the
challenge the language is useful for my
job gaining new skills is important for
many professionals being able to speak
another language can potentially help
your business make more money and maybe
even get you a promotion I live in a
country that speaks the language living
in a country and not being able to speak
the language can be hard learning the
language of the place you live can help
you make friends get a job and have an
easier life I want to open my mind and
become more international for many
people feeling connected to other
cultures and broadening their horizons
is especially important learning a new
language can change how you interact
with the world I want to understand my
favorite songs movies and TV shows if
you're really into a culture learning
that cultures language can help you
enjoy even more learning a new language
can add depth to your appreciation of a
culture I love traveling people who have
been bitten by the travel bug but
traveling to a place where you don't
know the language can be hard for
example if you can speak Spanish there
are so many different countries you can
visit it's part of my university studies
most universities require you to take
language class for a few semesters to
graduate but it doesn't have to feel
like work learning a language for
university can open great opportunities
in the future vamos hi everybody welcome
back to top words my name is Alisha and
today we're gonna be talking about ten
gamers speak words I am excited about
this one
let's go first word is achievement
achievement is used when you have
completed a mission in some games
there's a very famous phrase that says
like achievement unlocked good feeling
beta beta its first
thing that's not quite finished but
that's maybe in like a testing phase you
could hear like the beta release of
something or like the beta test version
of blah blah blah for example I am beta
testing a running game right now that is
true
next is boss if you ever played a video
game probably you know about a boss
battle
you've been playing through a level and
at the end of that level there's a boss
that you have to fight it's kind of
interesting now thinking about it how we
use boss for a main challenger that you
have to defeat in a video game level but
we also use it for like our managers at
work so the next word is role-playing
game role-playing game is commonly
abbreviated commonly shortened to RPG
this is a very popular style of game a
role-playing game meaning you play a
role role-playing games have evolved
over years now you can play for example
MMORPGs massively multiplayer online
role-playing game I have been playing
role-playing games since I was like 11
and my brother convinced me to play
Final Fantasy 7 the next word is
checkpoint you might also hear save
point you save your game and then you
continue on in the game and then if you
die you go back and you respawn you come
back to life from that checkpoint
I feel like checkpoint is used more in
like a racing game but save point is
used more in an RPG the next one is noob
and oob I love the word noob I mostly to
talk about myself actually when I've
made like a really stupid decision noob
means rookie it means someone who is
inexperienced at something you can use
noob in a game if you find someone who
has just joined the game they're a brand
new player there are a noob they don't
know anything
farming let's talk about farming in
gaming terms it means you are trying to
collect a certain item it has like kind
of a reputation for being a bit boring
because you're just killing like the
same creature over and over again NPC
NPC means non playable character there
are other characters within the game
that move the story forward but that you
cannot play as you cannot become that
character but you interact with them I
have to talk to an NPC
in order to move this quest forward next
is camper a camper is someone who is
waiting for a creature to spawn so a
person who's waiting for the monster to
appear is called a camper you can use
camping as a verb too to talk about that
like I'm camping this monster really
people camp other players
I suppose so depending on the kind of
game you're playing MMO is a massively
multiplayer online game means you can
play online with a lot of different
people essentially want to speed up your
language learning take your very first
lesson with us you'll start speaking in
